Sleeping in a glass igloo with the Northern Lights shining above you. This is now possible in various places in Finnish Lapland. The most famous one is in the Iglo village in Kakslattaunen. The idea is amazing and definitely something to add to your bucket list.

The popular huts are built with special thermos glass, so that the igloo easily maintains a normal room temperature. While it can be minus 20 degrees Celsius (-4 degrees Fahrenheit) outside. It is also remarkable that the thermo glass cannot freeze. Which guarantees the view.
